Look Behind The Look Vinyl Foote Productions

Today is the day of the digital release of OPPENHEIMER so here is
an episode for you about what all the heavy lifting that went to aging and transforming the brilliant actors in the film.  Hair Designer Jaime Leigh McIntosh and Makeup  Designer Luisa Abel walk us through the process on set under Christopher Nolan's direction while they collaborated to create convincing looks for Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr., and Emily Blunt that would span across wildly different projections (IMAX and 70 MM) and Black and White as well as Color. I'm sorry for the minimal visuals- the studio sent approved images which I wanted to respect, but in order to see Jaime Leigh and Luisa's extraordinary work better, please please please see the film which is out now on digital.Jaime Leigh also hosts the podcast, Last Looks which is a must-sub for everyone in the industry- check it out if you aren't subscribed already!

The new film from A24, Sophia Coppola's PRISCILLA, is an undisputed feast for the eyes.  Released on this past weekend, you hopefully got yourself to the theater to see the incredible detail that was put in to the costumes, set design, hair, makeup and cinematography.  As a frequent visitor to Graceland myself and a person who has been known to study every last detail of Priscilla, Elvis and Lisa Marie Presley's aesthetic, I was truly impressed with the visuals because they honored the historical detail while also being unmistakingly Sophia's vision.  I loved having Hair Designer Cliona Furey back on the pod to talk about her unbelievable work (no doubt it has been in your feed this entire week!).  It's deservedly getting tons of Awards Buzz, and you will love hearing about how she did it, straight from Cliona herself. 
Enjoy!

Hello Hello! No, you aren't imagining things- we are
talking about The Bear again because this season absolutely deserves two
episodes.  Today's is with Hair Department Head, Ally Vickers and she
talks about her much discussed brilliant work (coined "dirtbag chic" by
many) with Jeremy Allen White, and turning Abby Elliot from blonde to
brunette and back again within a week. She takes us behind the scenes
with Will Poulter, Jamie Lee Curtis, and the entire cast of this beloved
show. You'll hear from Ally about her Mood Videos that she
creates for her characters, and if you are watching on YouTube
(subscribe now BTW) you will see the one she created for Donna (played
by Jamie Lee Curtis of course). Enjoy!

*Check out the show notes for how to support those out of work from the ongoing strike

as well as to see which products Ally uses for Jeremy's look.

WE ARE HEADED BACK TO SCHOOL.  Yes indeed, with Emmy Nominee Moira Frazier, the Head of the Hair Department at ABBOT ELEMENTARY. Moira tells me about whipping up a wig at a moment's notice for Ayo Edibri, finding individualized hairstyles for all our favorites in the cast
including Janelle James, Quinta Brunson, Sheryl Lee Ralph and Lisa Ann Walter as well as the many many many other cast members- kids, parents and more. Moira breaks down the nitty gritty of The Strike and how the trickle down affects the entire industry, and she tells me about her products which she uses on set and you can purchase for yourself.  I had the greatest time talking to this amazing woman, and I hope you enjoy our conversation and learn a thing or two that you didn't know before about wigs, the strike, and... Toledo.  (just listen!) Moira's products discussed in the episode:


⁠Lace lock melting spray⁠
⁠Hair creme⁠

THE BEAR. It's your favorite show and these are your favorite
characters. I am breaking my hiatus to bring you this episode because
you know we all need it. Ignacia Soto-Aguilar will tell you in this
episode about THE LASH (you know the one on Jamie Lee Curtis' face
that broke the internet)! I love talking to Ignacia about her projects
because while she is a makeup artist, what you may not know is that she
thinks like a filmmaker. Listen as she tells me what it was like
shooting Episode 6 - "Fishes", that incredible Christmas dinner scene
where ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE. And Will Poulter's tatts based on his
personal story - he needed nurses everywhere and hot sauce bottles?! -
as well as the Brownies that he made himself and brought to set in this
very special bonus episode about this very special show.

For the last episode of Season 3, I am thrilled to bring you the Guardians of the Galaxy 3.  I had been looking forward to speaking with
the film's Hair Department Head, Cassie Russek, for a long time now and we were finally brought together here with Makeup Department Head of
Guardians 3, Alexei Dmitriew, AND for the cherry on top, my friend, Chukwudi Iwuji joined us as well!  You are going to love this talk with the team behind Guardians of the Galaxy 3 as they tell me about their favorite days on set, their biggest challenges and how they worked together to break the record for the MOST prosthetics used in a feature film.
